American man charged with Calgary swatting incident

The call led officers to believe the incident occurred at an address in Calgary.

KWCH-TV reports the Calgary Police Service is accusing Tyler Barriss, 25, of public mischief, falsely reporting an offense and false information by letter or telecommunication.

She came out of the apartment and told police the shooting and hostage scenario was fake. A short time later 911 received a call from a woman who lived at the home claiming she believed she was a swatting victim.

Officers and a tactical unit responded, authorities say the victim was targeted because of her online persona. Siegenthaler said she had contact with Barriss earlier in the day, but did not elaborate on their relationship.

Warrants have been issued for Barriss, allegedly a serial swatter.

The goal of "swatting" is to get a SWAT team to respond to a hoax call.
